Isn't she lovely?

In her prime-time speech Monday, Michelle Obama foiled her harshest detractors and perhaps even won over Middle America.

    Once again I am completely blown away by your latest post. That was absolutely fantastic.

    I guess it isn't earth shattering stuff to the learned feminist, but as a neophyte who is learning bit by bit, your analysis of corporate feminism really opened my eyes. As a lifelong dilletante socialist I don't know why I never looked at feminism through the prism of labour, but there ya go...

    damn you for reaffirming my faith in this online community! Now I'm just going to go and have to get disappointed all over again!!
